 Fametracker :: Hey! It's That Guy! :: Rainn Wilson
The weirdest thing about all-'round weirdo-portrayer Rainn Wilson is that his name is "Rainn." This is the sort of handle that belongs on members of the Phoenix family, or cashiers at Whole Foods, not a tall, doughy white guy with suspicious, beady eyes and a squirrelly demeanour.
Wilson's sexlessness on screen was also a story point over the past couple of seasons of Six Feet Under, in which he played Arthur, the mortuary assistant.
However, Wilson's character is the funniest: like Gareth, he's a humorless, uptight stickler who knows he's the butt of the office's jokes, but doesn't know the extent to which they're fucking with him, because it's pretty much happening around the clock, and he's too oblivious to notice.
